About this listen

"The Irish Potato Famine: An Gorta Mór" is a gripping exploration of one of history's most devastating humanitarian crises. Between 1845 and 1852, Ireland was ravaged by a catastrophic famine that claimed over a million lives and forced millions more to flee their homeland. Yet, this was far more than a tragedy of failing crops; it was a crucible of resilience, shaped by the convergence of natural disaster, political neglect, and the systemic inequalities of colonial rule.

Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, this book delves into the famine’s harrowing origins, its profound human cost, and its enduring legacy on Ireland and the world. Discover how the Irish people, despite unimaginable suffering, emerged with a fierce determination to survive, remember, and rebuild, forever altering their cultural and demographic landscape.

More than a recounting of historical events, this is a poignant reminder of the global relevance of these lessons. As the echoes of An Gorta Mór resonate across time, the story compels listeners to reflect on the responsibilities of governance, the dangers of systemic inequality, and the imperative to foster solidarity in the face of contemporary crises.

"The Irish Potato Famine" is not just a chronicle of a tragic past—it is a universal testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring quest for justice and compassion.
